'On the contrary,' said Laurent, 'He was not raised at all.' He looked away then, studying the texture of the wall beyond Damen's shoulder while he gathered his thoughts. He was very good at pretending he knew what to do. Oftentimes, it was true enough, and when it wasn't Laurent was excellent at feigning control, but the downside was that he was often expected to simply, correctly handle a situation that was completely out of his depth.
'If he hates me,' he said, 'Then I deserve it, but I don't believe he does. He stood before the most powerful man in Vere and pleaded for me, and he lost his head because of it.' Laurent paused, looking back at Damen.
'I know it cannot make you happy. I am sorry for it, for making you happy is one of few pleasures in my life.' He straightened. 'I will accept whatever sanctions you wish to place on our relationship because of it.'
